I like the name Brooklyn. I think it's a nice choice.

I really like Brooklyn, I would consider it for my second, but one of my best friends wants to name her little girl that when/if she has one, and I have another good friend with a little girl named Brooke. So the Brooke/Brooklyn thing is gaining in popularity, but I still love it. Brooke is also a great middle name! Good luck!

Living quite close to NY myself, I always think it's odd when I hear of a little "Brooklyn" unless the parents have particularly strong ties to the area. Even then, it sometimes strikes me as odd (since I do remember this name being used on a Soap Opera many years back and thought it was an odd choice even then).

I have to agree with Kelli, I always wonder why someone would choose to name their daughter after that particular area. Other 'place names' bother me less - like Georgia or Savannah...but Brooklyn just doesn't have pretty connotations for me.

Eh, too trendy. I prefer Brooke. Brooklyn seems like one of those made-up names that are used just to be unique, but really only end up dating the child to the time she was born.

I don't live near Brooklyn NY, I'm from the West so I think it's a very pretty name. I have heard it a time or two but it's not overused in this area. I just think it's a very feminine name. I say go for it!!!

I love it! I'm from the Northeast, and I don't associate it with the city. I also like it spelled Brooke-Lynn to make it even less like the city, and more like a girl's name. I say go for it!
